Theodorakis: Dimitrov-Kotzias meeting on April 12, Zaev-Tsipras afterwards


Greek media reports over a fresh meeting between Macedonian Foreign Minister Nikola Dimitrov and Greek counterpart Nikos Kotzias on April 12 have been confirmed by Potami leader Stavros Theodorakis.

In an interview with state-run TV station ERT following his meeting with FM Kotzias, Theodorakis says a new meeting would be held next Thursday.

“I have said that April will most probably produce the solution. FM Kotzias informed me that the next important meeting with the FYROM counterpart will take place on April 12 and if everything goes well, the case will be taken over by the two prime ministers,” says Theodorakis.

Regarding the party’s position in the name talks, he reiterated that Potami favors a solution that will guarantee the elimination of irredentism.

“We want a solution to the name but also concrete legal guarantees over the neighbor’s elimination of irredentist provisions in the constitution and the instruction books, because children’s education is very important,” stressed Theodorakis.
